Jump To Notification
Would we be able to get a functionality that allows us to jump to notifications within a channel. For example if you've been away from a discord and get a notification, but it's a rather busy one. Instead of having to scroll and scroll through it, it would be cool to for example right click the #channel itself and just click, "Jump To Recent Notification" or something like that, and it'll take you in the timeline to where you were pinged.
Currently you can do a search under notifications for your name specifically, but then you have to do the exact same for @here, and then @everyone, or @[insert role here]. I think this would be helpful, especially regarding administration of a server considering there seems to be no differentiation between what exactly you're pinged from.

Please do this

This is 2 YEARS OLD? Please make it happen 🙏. My current workaround is to select the channel with a notification then search for the user that I'm "pretty sure" made the post (based on what I saw in my phone's notification) or I search for "@everyone" in that channel and select from the most recent result.

How is this not a thing already?

Thought I was stupid for not knowing how to do this very intuitive thing, but wow great news it's just not a feature!

Still very much needed:
- the workaround to search for a mention of your name doesn't seem to work on direct replies (done by clicking on the reply button above a post)
- the new Inbox is cool, except in practice there are too many notifications in too many channels to use it properly. At least the notifications are sorted by channel, but you cannot search by channel and you need to fold them one by one manually to find the one you're interested in. Showing the currently selected channel (and all channels in current server) at the top, or adding a “filter for curent server/channel” button would help a lot
- when you click on a channel with new notifications, the app doesn't auto-jump to the notification, so you have no idea whether the new post is above or below. In general I start scrolling down, see nothing highlighted, then realized the notification number magically disappeared at some point (no idea when). As a side effect, the notification was also removed from the Inbox, losing my last chance to actually find it. The same happens with “fake” notifications aka ghost ping, generally spammers mentioning @here or @everyone who then get their post deleted (there is already an issue for this: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360040467492-Stop-notifications-from-deleted-messages). This makes it very hard to distinguish ghost ping from real notifications (did I not find it yet or does it not exist?)
An alternative would be to show notifications on highlighted segments on the scroll bar, similarly to how code editors/IDE like Jetbrains products show warnings and errors on the scrollbar or file minimap. At least I would know where to scroll.
